How do we know that half of those who joined Imran Khan's Twitter Space didn't join only to make fun of his BS ramblings? We don't.
Holding Twitter Spaces and rallies doesn't equal to electoral success. Khan may be a crowd puller (thanks to his populist narrative) but let's see if he can get those votes without establishment's help. 🙂
At least I joined in the final 20 minutes because I had run out of beer, had nothing better to do and wanted to have some entertainment. I'm sure there must be plenty of people who joined either for entertainment or out of curiosity. None of that means they support Imran Khan.
If you are thirsty, you have to go to the well. Don't expect the well to come to you. If Pakistan wants good ties with India, it will need to understand and accept the existing ground realities.
India already got one of the two most important things it wanted from Pakistan: a ceasefire deal directly with Pak Army.
New Delhi isn't interested in much else if it won't be favourable to it. So if Pakistan is thinking India will make concessions on Kashmir, think again.
Especially at a time when India knows that Pakistan is internally at its weakest (and not just economically). Imran Khan has been the biggest non-funded asset to India. Thanks to him, for the first time anti-army slogans were chanted in the heart of Pindi, the home of the army HQ
